Film director and screenwriter Greg Pak's first feature, the sci-fi anthology Robot Stories, won 35 awards; he broke into the comics industry when his agent sent Marvel the screenplay. After writing a WARLOCK reboot, Pak made a splash with the X-MEN: PHOENIX - ENDSONG limited series and a lengthy run on INCREDIBLE HULK, highlighted by the "Planet Hulk" storyline and the WORLD WAR HULK crossover. In addition to the acclaimed MAGNETO: TESTAMENT and RED SKULL: INCARNATE limited series, a WAR MACHINE revival and the retitled INCREDIBLE HULKS, Pak has written Dynamite's Battlestar Galactica and contributed to Secret Identities: The Asian American Superhero Anthology. His efforts with co-writer Fred Van Lente include INCREDIBLE HERCULES, HERC, HEROIC AGE: PRINCE OF POWER, an ALPHA FLIGHT relaunch and the CHAOS WAR crossover. Pak introduced Amadeus Cho as a new green Goliath in THE TOTALLY AWESOME HULK and delivered mutant mayhem in WEAPON X.
